Abstract: (734 Views)
Background and Aim: Domestic violence is a major social harm against women, with serious negative effects on the health and well-being of both mothers and children. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of domestic violence among women attending comprehensive health service centers in Zahedan and to examine its relationship with the developmental status of their children.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 on 454 women who visited comprehensive health service centers in Zahedan with their children. Participants were selected through a multi-stage sampling method. Data were collected using the standardized Domestic Violence against Women questionnaire developed by Mohseni Tabrizi. Statistical analyses were performed using chi-square tests and logistic regression in Stata 14 software.
Results: The overall prevalence of exposure to domestic violence among women was 43%. Domestic violence showed a significant association with poor child development (CI: 1.39–3.00, OR: 2.06). Logistic regression analysis indicated that maternal exposure to domestic violence, along with factors such as parental history of childhood violence, paternal addiction, and maternal age, were significantly related to behavioral disorders in children (p ≤ 0.05).
Conclusion: The findings highlight the crucial impact of domestic violence on women’s well-being and the developmental outcomes of their children. These results can assist policymakers and social planners in designing effective strategies to reduce domestic violence and promote healthy child development.
